Just one more sleep to this Sunday for Toms Show. Cant wait

Great day at show today, just one or two things would like to point out that myself and few others disagreed with.

 

Firstly, there was an attempt from the lurcher steward to merge the under 23 rough & smooth together! As he did not think there was enough dogs for the two classes. This would have been a pointless exercise as not only are you taking a dog out of the final straight away but also it would be unfair to judge both dog types against each other when there was a clear program layout for both dog types. Which in my opinion is just laziness on the stewards part. Also brings me to my second point...

 

There were bull crosses entered into the terrier cross class when there also a clear program layout for bull cross breed and a separate terrier cross class. This separation is usually implemented so the two types are judged against each other until later, more universal classes (e.g. fox, lamping & final etc). This in a sense takes another dog out of the final and in turn creates a less variety in the final.

 

If this was planned to be the case then why even bother having both classes in the show. The bull crosses that got beaten in the bull class and then entered the terrier class clearly have no chance of winning the final, for them to win a terrier cross call is a very hollow victory.

 

Other than that, everything was very professionally organised and ran very smoothly. Well done to all winners and participants.

what f****n difference does it make if they were rough or smooth. also bull crosses are terrier crosses. give your head a shake ffs.

If that's your thinking process, then why not just put every dog type in every class! Separate classes are programmed for a reason!

aye too appease crying fannys like you, whats wrong with over 23", under 23" and whippets. i cant see any other reason for more classes.

[Gone huntin' 4]

Think that's more along the racing layout. A programme such as that would create some controversy! You are obviously a very narrow minded person.....

My original post was not intended to start any arguments. I personally had a great day and was impressed how well the show ran as a hole. I was merely highlighting a few points.
